I run my 2ppc ember alot

Usually a whole lot of insults from ppl in game including the typical 'why buy the ember for this?'

Well I didn't, but i like 2ppc firestarters and this gives me an extra 30% while doing it, so why not?

Plus.. No one expects it

Back to the OP TOPIC...

My Flame Dragon. Using a big XL, a LBX10 with lots of ammo, and pulse lasers. Spam the lbx at anything squishy. Fast, and surprisingly effective. Just something i threw together of nearly falling asleep from Nova boredom.

Funny watching a kitfox looking back over his shoulder and finding 65tons of dragon on his arse. ;-)

How fast are you going with that? I have 2 ER LLas and 3 SRM 4, but a 300 XL to go cooking around the map.

Just a 255XL and like 12 or 13 DHS, with I think I have x2 tons of ammo for the SRM's.

The Er larges you end up using most of the match and then when the brawl comes you just lean in and let loose.

Everyone gave me a hard time for running triple ER LL on my hunchback until the top tier comp players started putting them into their shadowhawks

With my Shad 2D2, I run 2 LLasers with 4 SSRM2s and of all things an A/C2.

That A/C2 is actually pretty nice even just 1 by itself. It is the kill guaranteed/stealer. While your other weapons (LLasers and Streaks) are cycling, you can keep pinging the enemy with the A/C2. The high DPS often gets you the kill on a red Internal mech when weapons are cycling.

Well that and ballistics have a tendency to keep mech's heads down regardless of size.

Direwolf with a bunch of LBX2's. Surprisingly accurate.

[BourbonFaucet]

NVA-S

This nova build, with 2 LBX-2's and 6 Small lasers somehow works despite looking like a troll build.

[CronuxKobold]

For me it would have to be my kitfox S. Slapped an ecm, cerppc, and srm6, retained the mgs, and mpl. A surprisingly affective multi-role light.

[Molossian Dog]

CDA-3M

LBX
Flamer
3 Small Lasers

Yeah, go on and laugh. It works.

[MoonUnitBeta]

Triple AC2 Hunchback. It was actually pretty decent haha. That was two months before ghost heat though. I never played it with the ghost heat. I might try it again and see how it holds up.

Being a Jager, people will automatically gun for your torsos' assuming you have a plebian XL Engine in it. As the battle rages on they'll think you a fool for charging onward whilst getting gunned in the torso. Boy oh boy are they surprised when your torso gets blown to bits and you keep firing away, taking THEIR XL down for the count. Bonus if they get your bad torso (whichever doesn't have the gauss arm attached to it), and then you continue to gauss them in the face.

No one expects it, which is it's strong suit. I've had tons o' fun in it.

[AlphaToaster]

Timberwolf-S w/ PRIME Side torsos:
1 JJ in CT
erPPC in LT w/ a Targeting Computer
uac/5 + 3 ton ammo in RT
uac/5 + 3 ton ammo in RA
27 armor on LA

People tend to read the weapons and make the mistake of staring at it for too long. Which happens to be about 6 seconds for a medium or 12 for an assault. Have to be surgical with where to hit the enemy mech, and I use the erPPC CD as well as when the uac's jam to twist away myself for that steady suppressive fire effect. Usually by the time I lose the left arm I'm out of ammo and it's OK to shield with the right. It ends up late game running around with the TC and erPPC intact in the LT.

This works also in a Nova with 1 erPPC in the RT and a uac/5 w/ 3 tons of ammo in the RA, and use the whole left side as a shield side. Can technically use the LT/RT weapons and use the arms for shields, but having at least 1 weapon on the arm is helpful for enemy UAV. Can also mix/match and put ballistic in the Torso and the Energy in the arm. Build to preference.

[DONTOR]

I knew my quad AC2 banshee, with no other weapons was going to be fun, but I didnt think it would wreck face like it did. Pre AC2 nerf ofcourse, currently it would kinda suck, too many negatives and not enough positives to run it. Poor AC2s

[A banana in the tailpipe]

No internet up at the cabin last weekend but, first match of the night highlights a build that has really surprised me.

Behold! The brawling AWS-9M. Able to carry Pugs even on hot maps.

Look ma, just basics! (well... most of them)

They actually do that?

Now I don't feel like a hipster anymore.

[Kitane]

Dire Wolf "Gauszilla"

4 Gauss rifles, 80 rounds of ammo, at cost of somewhat reduced armor (to a level of a 70t mech).

It's entertaining enough for me to keep one DW in this setup.

[TheMadTypist]

Atlas - RS : The Craplas

I threw it together after a bad evening, with the angry reasoning that if I was going to be terrible all night I might as well be properly dressed for the occasion.

When it did better than any build I'd tried previously on the RS, I only got more frustrated, hence it retained the title of Craplas. I don't know why it did well- I took an atlas that moves firepower into the arms, and strapped a bomb against the torso to make one of the arms come off easier- and yet somehow it was performing well enough that I would look at the match end screen and wonder how the hell those numbers got there, because I sure as hell didn't make that happen.

[Brody319]

My favorite mech, and my baby, Is a K2 Catapult. 2 Er Large Lasers on the ears, 2 Large Lasers on the nose, and twin machine guns. Thing melts armor like butter and rips the insides out. I've tried to change it to pulse or ppcs but always prefered lasers. Just more forgiving and helps when facing lights. Also runs like 81 KPH with speed tweak.

I was surprised when it worked, requires chain firing, grouping and trigger discipline
